    My third SKN, I thoroughly enjoyed the time I was able to spend. I only made six QSO's, but each is memorable. I used a Ten Tec Omni 6 Plus and a Bencher Straight Key. Being a member of the Straight key Century Club (#22, Centurian #38) allows me to ha... Read More

    The Bands were alive with the sound of Straight Key Music. SKN is by far my favorite event, this year was exceptional. Everywhere I tuned I could hear the melody of CW with QSO's being sent with Straight Keys. I made 10 QSO's and each one was memora... Read More

    K8MSC, KV1E, WB5DNT, AD0CW, K7JHM and NJ7M

    I used my old novice key, a rectangular Nye Speed-X, keying the trusty TS... Read More

    Mobile CW at night, in traffic at 75 MPH can be challenging but the folks on the other end were patient. Thanks for hanging with me with the bumps on the road that get translated into extra letters of code. We should have more SKNs to show the world ... Read More

  • Ugly Weekender 40 mtr transceiver used on 2007 SKN.

    01/02/2007 | KM6OR

    Great 2007 SKN! Lots of good fists and heard lots of SKCC operaters. I used my 1974 novice station key, a J-37 and also a British WT-8 amp. The rig was a homebrew, (Ugly Weekender) and amplifier and a 3/8 wave inverted "L" for 40 mtrs. Looking forward... Read More
